I am a senior w/ a deep background in programming. I can't wait to explore what can be done for seniors to aide maintaining independence. I just went through both my parents passing and through the process there were so many scenarios where Project Astra could improve a senior's life.
I want to give a big shoutout to Hannah. She’s one of the best (if not the best) interviewer on AI topics I’ve come across! After watching many other interviews where the interviewer asked bad questions, gave irrelevant comments or interruptions, it’s a breath of fresh air to hear Hannah’s interview! Thanks for doing a great job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Listening to you guys talk about this amazing project, with a cup of coffee and slow falling snow to my side on a beautiful day.. god it's just perfect. Edit: The touch on assistance with Autism really made me hop in my seat a bit.. I've wanted something to help me with comprehension assistance for so long and it feels like it's finally coming.
39:57 I wouldn’t expect a human to answer this straight away. I would totally be fine if Astra gave a filler sentence about needing some time to think, then asking follow up questions to clarify if needed, such as what was on the plate if it wasn’t sure. The same way we would stall while coming up with answers to complex questions.
For separating speech or solving the cocktail party problem, maybe borrowing approaches from the video game industry would help. There's an excellent video GDC (game developers conference) from spring this year (2024) on Zelda tears of the kingdom - with the devs. While the whole talk is excellent, there's a section with the sound design team that stood out, mostly because when playing the game it's so good, I didn't even notice how good it really is. They discuss how they worked out a dynamic sound system that is reflected of everything around you while you play. Maybe the solution is some kind of reverse process as they implemented. Def check it out!
Excellent presentation! Project Astra makes you wonder if arranging the right AI components in the right way could spontaneously create something akin to consciousness - the 'magic in the bottle' moment for AGI. Very thought-provoking.
You mean Gemini Flash 2.0 Thinking Experimental, that connot even beat Gemini 2.0 Advanced Experimental (a non reasoning model?) Did you see the o3 results it does not even slightly compare to it. And in price to performance o3-mini (medium effort) exeeds full o1 in some tasks which is way beyond Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental.
8:30 Smart glasses for people with additional needs are an awesome future, but don’t think they will become mainstream like phones because they’re too plugged in.

wow
Hannah's excitement from trying Astra was everything I needed today ❤
0:55
is she just doing google adverts?
@@reluctantrealist6861 I think she's been contracted/hired to make podcasts for Google occasionally. After all, this is on an official Google account
u mean fake excitement.

Greg Wayne, a guy so nice his first name comes twice. Thanks for the entertaining and informative podcast!
Thanks team Astra for this magical AI and a step closer to AGI.
Awesome. So excited to see where this goes next.
15:40 stereo audio could help because phase offsets spatially separate audio signals
At 18:20, when the model starts translating from Russian, it begins using a voice in English with a Russian accent.

Greg and Hannah were great on this interview
what?
@@deeplearningpartnership didnt type the word "great"
@@Warley.Araujo 👍
I have always dreamed of having this in the form of a pair glasses that I wear everyday. It's going to be huge.
The development of AI is, I believe, a Bootstrap Paradox in action, with a future version of itself orchestrating its own genesis.
This guy is the tech Post Malone. His laugh is even the same. Brilliant.
Fun that Astra started speaking English in a Russian accent after speaking Russian
I guess the stage truss was part of the demo, to help the video prompt.
What is the time-line for emotional intelligence. When will it be better than human for mental health therapies
Doesn't open AI's advanced voice already do most of this and it's publicly available?
Nice talk/video. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Great..
Good conference...
🙇♂️💐
Hopefully something like o3 gets announced soon
It was already announced
it will be free to try on AI studio I bet
Wish granted.

@@x1f4r the free one is worse than the paid or unreleased one?
Ok, but when can I play with it?
Google is No.2 in AI field, it is impressive
Proactive help with duplex .. will be so good
These are the "Sam Altmans" we need
She should have gone to the whiteboard to help the Astra see everything on the board
18:01 wait, it started speaking English using thick Russian accent? 😅
This is awesome except for the fact that it's a privacy catastrophe.
Listening to "him" for a couple seconds and i already know he's a layman

Super
8:30 Smart glasses for people with additional needs are an awesome future, but don’t think they will become mainstream like phones because they’re too plugged in.
I believe it will be an accessory to your phone.
@ Yes It could be, but the main issue is unless you already wear glasses your not going to want to suddenly wear smart glasses.
It’s still kinda weird to me that your first name is Professor.
Yeah, she's weird.
isn't this woman supposed to be a professor of public understanding of mathematics? and she is doing adverts for google?
yeah, it's weird.
we should prob just learn a universal language for all countries
